Winemaker Notes The 2018 Joh. Jos. Prüm Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese is a classic Mosel Riesling that balances richness with finesse. It shows ripe orchard and stone fruit notes—think peach, apricot, and pear—layered with tropical hints and delicate florals. The palate is opulent yet precise, with honeyed sweetness and a glossy texture, lifted by vibrant acidity that keeps it from feeling heavy. Mineral undertones from the slate soils add depth, while the finish is long, elegant, and mouthwatering, with lingering citrus and herbal nuances. This Auslese is both indulgent and refined, built for long-term aging but already captivating in its youthful charm. About Winery Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of Germany’s most iconic Mosel wineries, founded in 1911 by Johann Josef Prüm after the division of the larger S.A. Prüm estate. The Prüm family, however, had already been established in Wehlen for centuries, with records of their winemaking presence dating back over 400 years. Johann Josef’s son, Sebastian, was instrumental in shaping the estate’s reputation during the 1930s and 1940s, developing the distinct style of elegant, mineral-driven Rieslings that became their hallmark. After Sebastian’s death in 1969, his son Dr. Manfred Prüm took over, further elevating the estate’s global prestige. Today, the winery is managed by Manfred alongside his daughter Katharina Prüm, continuing the family tradition of producing world-class Rieslings from legendary Mosel vineyards such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, and Bernkasteler Badstube.
